Do you believe in biological evolution?

[Taken]

I am related to all living things.

However… God, (Creator and Maker ) of All living things, Created and Made Distinct KINDS of unrelated things.

Similarities, Likenesses “AS” does not mean “IS”.

A manKIND of being, having similarities, likenesses… AS an angel, AS a pig, AS a worm, AS an ape, AS God…
Does not mean A man, WAS, IS, WILL BE, ANY of those things.

I didn't know God published a science book.

You really should get a worthy Dictionary and learn the Origin of What Words mean.

No one said “God published a Science Book”!
God is Supreme AUTHORITY of His WORD.
God delegated, to men, to WRITE, MAKE COPIES, and DISTRIBUTE, His WORD.

Any diligent student of Gods Word… “should” know, God approved for men to Discover Gods Creations, Makings and use those “Discoveries and (Learning / Study thereof Called “Science”), for the beneficial Good of and for mankind.

You rely on the opinions of men who fabricated fanciful explanations

Prove your allegations Gaslighter…
None of my posts, attribute Gods Creations, Makings, to human mens opinions.

I find it sad you believe God is incapable of bringing about life through a slow process …

Gaslighter, No need to be SAD, for something I never said.

Factually,
I have said, little by little, bit by bit.

He began and must have resorted to just popping various species of life via magic.

Wow! :-(
God created “Distinct KINDS”…
The Term “species” simply means “KINDS” of Gods Creations that can naturally “inter-breed” and produce a fertile offspring”.

Your “wacky armchair science” strays from facts.

Your view on how life came out is not necessarily harmful. It would be useless in studies that have medical or research implications. We can study ourselves and find cures using animals.

Off on irrelevant tangent.

I believe the bible is inspired by God.

I cannot use the bible to turn on the lights.

Lol, you might try using the “tools”, (body parts)… God gave you… like fingers!

The bible is about why not how.

Broadly, I disagree with you.
Scripture is broadly About WHAT…
And the “WHY”, is primarily a Gift from God (called Understanding according to God), for those Trusting, The WHAT (knowledge of) and WHO (God).

If YOU are “troubled by YOUR feelings”… Try Prayer, to the Lord God.

Glory to God,

What a delightful expression of believing the fairytales of men sown in abuse of the Word of God while ignoring the gifts God has given us is our ability to learn which has led to so many medical breakthroughs.

However… God, (Creator and Maker ) of All living things, Created and Made Distinct KINDS of unrelated things.

We are made of the same things, share genetic code, have similar anatomies and can engage in research and find cures using them.

A manKIND of being, having similarities, likenesses… AS an angel, AS a pig, AS a worm, AS an ape, AS God…

A manKIND? Is that like a manimal? We and the other animals are all very much demonstratively related.

That has nothing to do with lacking understanding in Dictionary words. God has not made a science book, yet people act like weird interpretations of Genesis are factual. He has inspired humans on issues of meaning, not how to make nuclear reactors or fly. He leaves us to development and learn while providing truth on issues of meaning

That is what you believe in. The creation myth of men by way of abusing God's Word is not reconcilable with demonstrative science. There is no evidence whatsoever for this manmade myth. Ask for evidence and you will get one of two things generally:
1) Here is a psalm/whatever saying whatever... you are prideful (no evidence!)
2) Here is a video attacking evolution (almost always based on an absence of understanding it) That does not prove a Creationism. Even if one has a valid argument regarding a current understanding of some aspect of evolution that doesn't prove creationism. That is all creationism rests upon.

The problem with creationist zealots is that they are so scientifically illiterate they do not get why that is an issue.
A random quote about the foolishness of men is not evidence for the manmade creationist nonsense.
Trying to poke holes using a poor understanding of a theory to declare a non-evidence based belief is not proof of said belief.

There is no proof! Nothing verifiable about manmade creationism. Nothing. I know, I know, man-made creationism believers are just itching to show me a video about how evolution is wrong. That does not prove or give validity to something that has no proof or validity.

Man made creationist mythology has 0 when it comes to proof.

Gaslighter, No need to be SAD, for something I never said.

Are you saying that God had the ability to bring out life via evolution?
So are you going to go with manmade theories that have no proof or manmade theories that have a mountain of proofs?
Seems very godlike, myths etc, for God to pop up animals in a day. Whereas it seems very Godlike to let creation unfold, like a seed. Creation-myth believers are like a child in disbelief a giant tree came about from a little seed.

Factually,
I have said, little by little, bit by bit.

So you believe God is limited or not? Are you saying God is incapable of bringing about life through evolutionary processes known and verified by science, or do you believe that God dropped animals onto the Earth like something out of I Dream of Jeannie?

Wow! :-(

So God made kinds and for laughs and giggles made animals that could breed, but the offspring of the two groups would not be able to continue? Oh, one of the clever ways to trick us and test our faith.

Off on irrelevant tangent.

That is not a tangent, that is a fact. Remember the groundbreaking paper from the Creation Science Institute? Meanwhile, in the real world, humans produce research and medical cures.

Lol, you might try using the “tools”, (body parts)… God gave you… like fingers!

Does the bible bring about electricity to turn on the lights? Does it offer instructions on electricity?

Not troubled at all. That people like you exist bothers me inasmuch as I visited people in the US so desperately poor and backwards they needed wood for cooking and heating.

"When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked. - Genesis 9:21-23

His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!” - Job 2:9

2 Peter 3:14-18
Therefore, beloved, since you are looking for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
and consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest you, having been carried away by the error of unprincipled men, fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Not seeing any evidence of manmade creation mythology

 

[Prycejosh1987]

I believe in biological evolution, as time goes on older people are looking young. In history the younger people looked older, but these days older people look younger.

The God given and approved KNOWLEDGE in Genesis Reveals the Facts and Distinction of the KINDS of things God “Created and Made”;
AND…
the “LIVING KINDS” of things God CREATED…
AND
MADE to have its OWN SEED to reproduce its SAME KIND of THING.

* THINGS;
* Plants.

* Animals
* Beasts to exist IN, Water,
* Beasts to exist ON Earth,
* Beasts to exist ON Earth with the Ability to Fly Above the Earth…

* Creeping crawling Things.

THEN God…
CREATED ( by Forming a BODY of Dust), God called MAN;
AND
MADE the MAN IN Gods LIKENESS

THEN God:
Gave His Authority for the MAN-KIND of creatures, (IN Gods LIKENESS), to Have Dominion OVER…
Gods Created and Made…
* Plants, Water Creatures, Land Creatures, Creeping Crawling Creatures, Flying Creatures….
(NEVER, having taught such “THINGS” ARE IN Gods Likeness.)

It is “embarrassingly Sad for you “to stand on a wayward position” THAT: A “man-KIND” of Creature …
CREATED and MADE By God IN His Likeness…
According to YOU; Man came forth From…A Beast of the Earth, YOU expressly “identify” as being an APE.

How “Embarrassing Sad For YOU”… “to put YOUR trust and belief and teaching…
IN the Wayward thoughts, mindful thinking, teaching of corrupt men, over and above, your own Creator and Maker.”

[soberxp]

Do you believe in biological evolution? That Mankind is actually a species of ape? That all species come from fundamental forms that have evolved? (bacteria->fish->mammal...) That God directed somehow evolution?
If you believe in evolution, how do you concile this scientific theory with the biblical story of creation?

Or do you believe in the genesis creation? That God has created all the universe immediately?
If you believe in creation, what do you think of the scientific discoveries?

I wonder if someone could explain clearly why there are many historical ruins of previous cities buried beneath a city that has always existed among humans, and then ask me if you believe in the theory of evolution?

 

[Grailhunter]

Evolution is theory that has been consistently shown to be the most accurate way of explaining how things occurred. Creationism is nothing but an unproven view created by human beings. There is no evidence for it. Creationism does not prove itself, but relies on ignorance for the strawmen it creates against evolution. It never shows proof of itself.

'
I don't recall that Darwin set about a scale. His hypothesis was that evolution occurred slowly, which was shown not to be the case.

You got it.
Scholars look at the two stories of creation in Genesis and the creation stories of other antient religions and it falls along the lines of their perspectives. And the two stories of creation in Genesis do not agree.
The puff of smoke thing does not pan out for Old or New Testament, it is just not the way God does things.

Then again evolution started out as a theory and as time went on more and more proof has been discovered. They have found a few frozen woolly mammoths a wooly rhino a lion cub ancient bison and bear and wolves etc And they are working to bring them back, they have already done that with a dire wolf.
Once they find something like a neanderthal or homo erectus they will learn a lot.

I don't identify as an ape, I am one. God did make types or kinds of animals. He also made us of the same stuff. Creationism is a man made belief.

I wonder if someone could explain clearly why there are many historical ruins of previous cities buried beneath a city that has always existed among humans, and then ask me if you believe in the theory of evolution?

Many ancient cities have been on the same site for thousands of years - Jericho, for example. But always there will be ruins of older buildings (and other things) underneath. Dig underneath London and you will find mediaeval cemeteries and Roman streets. I've been to places in Jordan and Israel where you can see the remains of buildings of different ages at many different levels. How come? Because when a city was destroyed by war or earthquake, a new one was built on top (often using some of the rubble from the old one). Over the centuries, the number of layers increased.
Not sure what this has to do with evolution.

The biblical city of Jericho goes back 11,000 years
Byblos Lebanon goes back 10,000

Back during the ice age the ocean were drawn up in the ice caps which were much larger. So the ocean levels were lower and when the ice age ended the oceans rose and swallowed up cities on the coast. One off the coast of India was found to be 140,000 years old.

It is not a belief. It is an explanation based on evidence.

The Book of Isaiah
44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

44:25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

Romans
1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

the Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

I think this is related to what God said. for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
